Tuna Cutlets

Cotolette di Tonno

I made this recipe last week and the cutlets turned out excellent. My guests absolutely loved this  healthy and tasty dish.

                                 

Preparation time: about 10 minutes
Cooking time: about  30 minutes
Class: expensive, healthy

Serves 3-6 (depending on how many tuna cutlets you like to put in each individual plate)

Ingredients:

about 1 cup (250 ml) breadcrumbs
2 eggs
6 slices of Tuna fillet
some cups vegetable oil (enough to fry)
salt to taste
2-3 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
1 lemon

Method:
1.        Put the breadcrumbs in a flat plate, then beat the eggs in a bowl.
2.        Gently dip each slice of tuna fillet into the eggs, then transfer to the plate with breadcrumbs; pat down, turn, and pat on the other side, to coat each piece with breadcrumbs.
3.        Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the tuna cutlets on each side until they become golden brown; drain on paper towels.
4.        Season with salt and serve the cutlets with a sprinkle of grated ginger and a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
